Hysteroscopy

Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation

This is a permanent method of contraception or birth control. In this procedure, a woman’s fallopian tubes are tied and blocked or cut and sealed thereby preventing fertilization of eggs by the sperm. Laparoscopic surgery is performed by making small incisions in the abdomen. It is a major surgery involving the use of general anesthesia. Tubal ligation can be performed at the time of a caesarian delivery or immediately after a normal delivery. Some of them are also performed at any remote time from the pregnancy.
